I’m sharing all the details on the blog this week!

A day in the life of a work from home mom of 2! A day in the life of a work from home mom of 2! 

Some of the best parts of being a self employed work from home mom is that I get to make my own schedule, be available for my kids and do something that I’m truly passionate about. 

Some of the worst parts are no co-workers to vent to, the household chores are always staring me in the face and I’m bad at time management so I always feel overwhelmed.
